"Protein" Chauvinism

There is a difference between thought and a soul, look at animals they can think but most of their thought processes are "Inbreed" in them which people call instinct. Intelligence is defined as:
"capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity; aptitude in grasping truths, relationships, facts, meanings, etc."

Can one say that even though animals have DNA do they "ALL" have intelligence? Animals are flesh and blood but the biggest difference between Humans and most other creatures that walk to earth is we have the ability to chose and to reason where most all other creatures do not have that ability.

I would say that most humans shouldn't relate intelligence with DNA, that only naive people would say that in a sense to make them feel superior than others.
